First, I do not consider it a waste at all. Exposing cheats feels quite natural to me as a role I've assumed. Everyone has their roles. What fun would ever-increasing average speeds in the TDF be without the detractors who point-out that it's not possible to have such massive jumps in human performance in such a short period of time?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06420903542017234663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581586488456314302.post-18938901487399536232010-10-07T13:24:14.391-06:002010-10-07T13:24:14.391-06:00David, they're not a waste of time at all.

They utilized some very smart people in helping them cheat, and it requires some smart people to tear it all down.<br /><br />A lot of people come into reading about this stuff without a good historical background in regards to past cases. A lot has been written over the past 20 years on the topic, and it is very helpful when people who have knowledge of these writings get together and share what they know and remember.<br /><br />Mark loves the sport. To consider them dopers and the sport "one and the same" is probably more indicative of a problem with you, and not with Mark.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06420903542017234663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581586488456314302.post-50504640277919763592010-10-04T11:15:52.701-06:002010-10-04T11:15:52.701-06:00David, although I'm disgusted by the doping, I...David, although I'm disgusted by the doping, I love cycling and hope that enough people see what's going on and demand changes. If not, I'm afraid that cycling will be all about doping. The sport will cater to what fans want. If fans are okay with doping or if they choose to ignore it then we will have a sport dominated by doping. The best dopers will win and if you aren't doping, you can't hope to win. We have to go back decades to see a Tour de France winner who has never been implicated in doping. I believe that needs to change and hope it will!MZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799773837611193311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581586488456314302.post-21538624849108600752010-10-03T23:07:37.230-06:002010-10-03T23:07:37.230-06:00Why do you waste your time writing these articles ...Why do you waste your time writing these articles about a sport you are clearly disgusted with?davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559830221584650750noreply@blogger.com
